my age of magic

Chapter 1440
The walnut desk is covered with a thick layer of varnish, and the desk with repeated patterns carved around it looks shiny in the room. There is a bouquet of white narcissus in the vase with gilt decoration on the desk. Alia sits in the office Sitting on the chair, looking distressed at the prom invitations piled up on the table, he simply pushed them randomly, and some of those exquisite letters were even scratched from the table to the marble floor.

Alia's blond hair was casually tied behind her head with a hairpin. Her inexplicable irritability made her stern, and she said to Betty, "Take them all out, and find any reason to reject them."

"Okay, master." Betty said.

The personal maid hurriedly took those invitation letters away, and even gave me a wink before leaving. I couldn't understand what she was implying to me, was she asking me to save Alia?I still go to help her solve her current troubles, but I don't even know what she is troubled about.

The magic-weave spider silk cloth became popular in the imperial capital, and then the fabric was recognized by the elves, so that a large number of magic-weave spider silk cloth was exported overseas. The textile industry has become very famous. Alia's textile workshop has undergone three expansions, and now it almost occupies the entire market of the magicweave spider silk cloth in the Grimm Empire.

In the textile industry, Aliya has gained a certain right to speak, and she is respected by some people because she has excellent fabrics in her hands.

For her, this kind of respect is earned by her hard work. When I returned to the imperial capital last time, she mentioned these things to me complacently.

But today something seems wrong, she seems to be resisting these prom invitations, and she is getting angry...

I walked behind her, put my hands on her shoulders, and covered her glasses a little bit. She didn't resist, but her body was a little stiff. I whispered to her: "Close your eyes, take a deep breath... Let the world be quiet!"

When I said these words, a strange blue magic circle appeared under my feet, and the initial magic effect of "hypnosis" appeared under my feet, similar to "sedation". My thumb gently pressed her forehead , while asking her: "What are you worrying about?"

Alicia crossed her fingers, put her chin on the back of her hands, and complained to me: "Recently, people are always talking about me behind my back."

"I thought you didn't care what other people said." I smiled and said.

I have never seen her show such an expression before. She held my hand and said to me: "Recently, many people want to know you through me, and do everything possible to get some news about you from me."

I laughed dumbfounded, and said, "I thought everything about me had been exposed by the Imperial Magic News, and there are still people interested in me."

In the summer of last year, I would appear in the imperial capital's magic newspaper almost every now and then. I think anyone who reads magic newspapers regularly should know me.

Alia squinted her eyes and seemed to enjoy watching the knights. She said to me: "If you appear at a ball in the imperial capital now, you will be surrounded by some nobles and ladies who are very interested in you. There are a lot of nobles who want to make friends with you until the end of the ball, and you will be surrounded by buyers of finished rune plates in the end, and you will be surrounded by people asking about the latest news of the rune plate workshop."

"Even if I have married Qige and Yingli, they don't care?" I asked Aliya in surprise.

"Do you think I care?" Aliya didn't answer directly, but just asked me a question.

I think this sentence is fortunately not heard by Qige and Yingli, otherwise I will feel better. I asked Alia: "Because I won the plane war on the plane of Hierro, I am here in the imperial capital." gained a lot of fame?"

Aliya smiled very charmingly. She raised her head against my lower abdomen, looked up at me and said, "Your current fame...is not brought about by that war of planes. Many people are asking about it now. You, because you said at the rune plate supplier conference that you are going to sell some finished magic rune plates.”

The finished rune board purchaser is really realistic enough.

I couldn't help asking: "What about those celebrities who want to get close to me, what do they think?"

"...What ideas do they have? They just want to see how divine the young magician who made Billy Babington turn blue with anger is." Alicia said with a smile.

"Uh..." I was a little speechless.

Alicia's mood has improved.

So, she said to me: "Jijia, I suddenly feel that staying in the imperial capital is quite boring recently."

I suggested: "Then where are you going? If you don't have any good ideas, I can send you to the town of Trum for vacation. The Nebulu spider has left the Black Forest. It seems safe there, especially Surrounded by forests, the small town of Roum is a resort, but the weather is a bit muggy."

But Alicia mustered up her courage and said to me, "I mean I want to go back to Sloit."

"There's nothing wrong with this, then go." I said to Alia.

She stretched out her arms and hooked my neck, and just raised her head to ask for a kiss.

It didn't take long for Aliya to recover from this tangled mood. When she heard that the town of Trum was short of living supplies, she immediately started planning with Betty to buy the items needed by the town. In the humid and hot weather of the plane, any fresh ingredients cannot be stored for too long on the Hierro plane. These foods are different from flour, as long as they are not damp, they will not deteriorate easily.

Providing meat to the town of Trum became the top priority, and then Aliya said to me: Otherwise, all the canned luncheon meat and meat floss bricks stored at Qige Trading Company should be transported to Trum first!
"By the way, there is also a kind of raw jerky that is abundant in the orc tribe. This kind of jerky tastes a bit like dry wood, but it can be soaked in water for a while and it will soften. This kind of jerky can be stored for a long time, and the most important thing is There are many in the orc tribe."

I thought of a good idea and said to Alicia.

Then I said: "I have prepared a batch of giant crossbow bolts with thorium decorations, but I have to sign a series of customs clearance documents and obtain official signed documents before I can transport those holy silver crossbow bolts to Pai Plateau .”

"What are you going to ask those orc warriors to exchange for your holy silver crossbow bolts, is it those jerky?" Aliya asked me with a smile.

I stood behind Alia, looked up at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said, "That's right..."

……

When I walked out of Aliya's manor, I saw this gorgeous magic caravan parked across the street. Walked down and walked straight towards me.

This is the magic caravan of the Prince's Mansion. I didn't expect that Prince James would send someone to look for me, and he was still guarding me outside Alia Manor.

This series of events made me a little dumbfounded, and I was even a little uneasy, worried that Prince James would suddenly walk out of the carriage, and the scene would be embarrassing. Fortunately, my worries were unnecessary, as there was no one else in the magic caravan. Sitting in the magic caravan, I let out a sigh of relief.

I followed the magic caravan to the Lake James Manor, and Prince James was waiting for me in the gazebo in the back garden.

This gazebo is built directly in the lake, surrounded by water promenades extending in all directions. The garden design is very grand.

"Recently, the high-level members of the Green Empire Congress have been talking about the son of the Duke of Samoyed, Zach, and his fiancée, the princess of Salta Province, Miss Ernestine. When they heard about them, Many people will mention Miss Ernestine first, and they will always talk about her other prominent status, the leader of the Ninth Constructed Knights in Durva Province, and the victory of the Plane War in Durva Province has a lot to do with her. relationship," Prince James told me straight to the point.

So Prince James came to me to talk about it, I thought.

It seems that the news of the great victory in the Yerro plane has reached the imperial capital. Prince James could have known these things from Le Die in advance, but the wayward Le Die is still staying in the small town of Trume. She said that she will stay for a few more days God, I have nothing to do with her.

I said: "Ernestine is indeed a very competent leader of the Constructed Knights."

Prince James stared at me seriously and said: "This victory in the Hierro plane has greatly increased the confidence of the lords in the plane war. Luo Dimension, did you write a letter to Jingyue Duke Ellie in private?"

The gaze in his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and when he looked at me, it made my back sweat.

I can only honestly say: "Well, the situation in the plane of Hierro was a bit bad at that time. Zach and Ernestine came to the imperial capital to try to persuade those lords to send troops to the plane of Hierro, but unfortunately they have Constructed Knights The lords of the regiment were too cautious and were not optimistic about the future situation in the Hierro plane. At that time, the lords all rejected Zach's request, so Zack and Ernestine went to the Royal Academy of Magic to find me. Please let me write a letter to Duke Jingyue, hoping that the North Wind Legion can draw out some constructed knights to support the plane war in the Hierro plane. At that time, I also had the idea of ​​giving it a try, so I wrote a letter to Duke Jingyue, unexpectedly, Duke Jingyue agreed, and directly sent ten constructed knights to the magic airship and sent them to Dulva Province. The Knights of Arms have arrived in Durva."

Prince James asked me again: "Are you familiar with Marquess Zack and Miss Ernestine?"

Of course he is very familiar, he is already a comrade-in-arms squatting in a trench, do you think he is familiar with him?

But I couldn't explain this to Prince James, so I could only explain: "It's okay, we have had a few contacts before, I have healed his wounds, and he also helped me get some black-scale warhorses , and gradually became familiar with it.”

Prince James said to me again: "Charles was very happy after receiving the news of the victory in the Hierro Plane War. He has sent the Secretary of State to formally summon Zach and Ernestine. It is estimated that the official documents for the summons have arrived. In this war, of course, I also saw some shadows of the North Wind Legion and you, but since there is no public reward for Duke Jingyue and Ellie, probably your reward will also be suppressed."

I think this may be the reason why he came to chat with me, just to tell me euphemistically that I have nothing to do with the victory of the Hierro plane this time.

Prince James continued: "The two major legions of the North and the South involve the core interests of the Angibald royal family. The last thing Charles wants to see is the powerful North Wind Legion inexplicably appearing on a certain plane. You probably won’t disclose your achievements to the public in the upcoming war, so you have to weigh this matter.”

I spread my hands, showing a helpless look, and said, "I see, this is also a form of protection for me."

Prince James nodded and said: "I'm glad you think so. I have to say that you have done a good job in the Hierro plane, but I still say what I said before. If you need territories and fiefs, I can do it in The Manda plane draws a piece for you, or if you feel that the territory obtained in this way has no sense of belonging, you can also bring your group of knights to fight in the undeveloped territory of the Manda plane."

I know that the Manda plane is the richest place in the hands of Prince James, and the name of this plane is named after Mrs. Manda. Since he said that he supports me in developing a territory on the Manda plane, Obviously they knew the news that I became a noble marquis.

But then I thought about it, and then declined and said: "James, thank you for opening the Manda plane to me, but I have already built Trum in the Yero plane, and there are many things to wait for that town Let me plan, and I have to take into account the studies in the imperial capital, and I may not have the energy to go to the Manda plane to open up new territories for the time being."

Prince James was a little surprised. He didn't expect me to refuse, but he still said to me: "You can do it whenever you want, and I will open the portal to the Manda plane for you."

"I heard that you are in the business of rune tablets?" Prince James then asked.

"I have a rune tablet workshop on the Seventh Street," I said.

Prince James said to me again: "If you encounter something difficult to solve, you can find Donald at the Military Supply and Logistics Department, and you can come to the Lakeside Manor more often."

I said seriously, "I will, James."

James showed a gentle smile: "Manda has specially prepared a Buenos-style afternoon tea for you. You can try the elf biscuits, just be careful not to eat too much..."

I didn't expect to see Mrs. Manda, so I hesitated a little, and then said to James: "James, the orc tribe on the Pai Plateau..."
